  1. No pics of overall crown to see its health and vigour so can't really give an opinion.... But I've seen plenty of veteran oak with worse decay managed sensibly.
  2. Yeah that makes sense mate... Should of left them on!!
  3. Cheers eddy , all is good then.
  4. Hey Steve what is the standard carb settings on an 088 ?? It says on the filter cover 1/2 turn high 1/4 low and it sounds like it will blow up on these @ around 1 turn each though it sounds spot as usual, so what's up with the filter cover directions?
  5. Cheers fellas. 👍
  6. Spot on john I will try this always losing the clips !
  7. Nice work Adam as usual
  8. Good work bella.
  9. Some big lifts!! Tidy work ,why was it removed? The first stem off looked dead but the rest seemed alive?
  10. Nice vid and work Sam.
  11. That was about the only place I enjoyed working in London Paul no headaches parking and good payers nice day that was ,Music is the adolescence kids in the black hole mate.
  12. Who sells pro jonsereds in the UK ? I have seen only home owner jreds for the last few years.
  13. Nice trick with the slings on the hinge end of the tip roping. From what I've seen of it jay you need a whole new 3001.
  14. I'd try and not put any TIP on the limb used as an anchor for the speed line for sure,Unless it was small....in all honesty though I've never lost a line anchor definitely back them up if it needs to be high with few half hitches and run the line down until you can tie it off on suitable substantial timber.
  15. Cheers pete. The zip line consisted of a 16 mm double braid rope on to a hobbs type device for tensioning as a main line the pulley is a large ISC swing cheek going on to a medium rigging plate with an old hank of 13mm line for retrieves and braking that can run through a porta wrap if needed this is secured to the back of the rigging plate and through a dmm block. It was quite handy on that job as you could line up three -four limbs with slings on the rigging plate and send them all down once the last one was cut off releasing them all unfortunately the footage was unusable from knocking the camera well out!
  16. Finally got round to going through the camera and editing some thing together longer than a 15 sec Instagram clip I'm still learning to turn it on when working and charging battery's helps! [ame] [/ame]
  17. Bag of smack and a couple of special brews in a carrier bag doing epicormic removal on limes in town after a festival. A U.S. Service mans ID.
  18. I'll have to try and get back to it then before the fire wood warriors do!! Thanks for the replies
  19. Is it any good? Have the choice of picking a largish rowen log up off a job I did last week and wondering if it will be worth the effort ?

    Dead oak

    £50 as it is but if it's sound and you are only going to know by cutting it off the root ball £100-£200.
  21. Was waiting for that Jonny ,kubota rab. You fancy a Easter brake on the boarders Steve ?
  22. It crossed my mind... Thing is when it's running its same as usual spot on... I think scott may have the solution.
  23. I'd drop it up the lawn !!
  24. Some times when it's been sat but I think it's because it's been driven down forest that it's moved some thing that it goes again I've checked the wires to the relay and they seem fine and it's clicking with the ignition .... It has not shut itself off down at all though only when we have turned the key off it then won't start.
  25. That did cross my mind but it's bloody freezing and it appears not to have used any water or boiled up, can you over ride any switches if this is the case?
